Lets use my 10 lane analogy again.. Verizon builds a 10 lane highway.. It's crowded with new technologies..
I'm a verizon executive. Lets see how I can SCREW THE CONSUMER as much as possible.. Ahh, yes, we'll change 8 of the lanes into 'toll' lanes. If you don't pay, you get put on the overcongested 2 lane highway, where everything sucks..
Do we know the 2 lanes are "overcongested"? No I didn't think so. More like take care of my consumers first. No different than any other corporation.
BTW, did any of the articles quoted make any mention of capacicty besides 80%? No, I thought not. Do we have any idea how much capacity is left? What it equates to in speed and latency? Nah. Let's just jump the gun anyway. -- support the Hunley
